What is the author's style in The Bingo Palace by Louise Erdrich?

Erdrich breaks the nove up into twenty-seven chapters, each bearing a heading that provides the reader with a hint about the chapter's subject matter. The majority of the chapters highlight one of the main characters, and those chapters written in Lipsha's voice note his name above the heading. The novel is built around Lipsha's story, and the other characters are inserted through short chapters between Lipsha's long chapters. The reader is given detail about one main aspect of each character while Lipsha's life is outlined in detail on every level. The reader learns about his journey through love, his parents, his family and his relationship to the community and to the spiritual world. Lipsha's life transcends every level that the novel highlights as a whole, so his chapters are the weight of the novel.
